Big Jets!

We took Makayla to the Alliance Air show today and had a blast! I didn't realize how big of a deal it is. They had all kinds of planes on the ground, most of them you could walk inside. The heat wasn't that bad because it was really windy (but Jaron and I did get a little burned). We got some decent pics and some video for all you plane lovers who didn't get to go. I will definitely be going back- such a great family outing (and not expensive at all!). But don't ask Makayla if she saw the airplanes this weekend- she calls them big jets (and will claim that is all she saw). :) I apologize for not knowing the correct names of these amazing aircraft- feel free to comment and educate everyone if you do know the names!


The Red Baron planes. Cool show, but kind of annoying b/c the announcer kept advertising their pizza. Seriously.

Oh, what are they doing?

Yes, making a heart- way cool.



Stealth plane- I didn't even see it at first b/c it makes NO NOISE!

I call this the hovering plane, b/c that's what it did! (See the videos at the bottom).

Its nickname has jump in the title- I heard the announcer mention that.

This was Makayla's face every time Jaron mentioned something about seeing the airplanes (she wasn't in a great mood at the beginning).





What a good daddy- covering her ears from the loud planes.

Mom, when are you gonna get it? I'm not in the MOOD for pictures!

Eating a snickers bar- she perked up a little after this. :)





Makayla and I in front of a very big jet.

We were really tired and hot by the time the Blue Angels started their show, but still got a great view from the car (w/ AC) and Makayla could see a lot better without the sun in her eyes.



Silly girl.


The Blue Angels are amazing, but I think this was my favorite show. Its like acrobats in the sky!!! Don't know what the airplane's called.


The crazy hovering plane.


The Blue Angels. Simply the best there is.

I have been to the air show when I was younger, with my dad (who used to work at that airport). It really is a cool experience...I would LOVE to go back again. I am so glad Makayla got to see some "big jets". It looks like she had a good time.
